Long Description:In the 1920's the population of Danes in Montreal grew substantially due in great part to the encouragement of the Canadian government.

Those that didn't go west to work on farms found employment in factories, stores, restaurants and construction in Montreal.

Their first places of worship were situated downtown. Under Pastor Jensen the relocation of St. Ansgar's lutherian church to Notre-Dame-de-Grace materialized and the corner stone of the soon to be completed St. Ansgar's Lutheran church was laid by Pastor Emeritus Vilhelm Beckin 1963 and the first services were held within a year on Grand Boulevard in NDG.

Although the church's bold design is not yet considered of patrimonial value, it's yearly autumn bazaar is a popular outing in NDG where one can find exquisite strudels.
